Flanders Riverside and Northampton Community Association

Flanders-Northampton Volunteer Ambulance is catching flak from residents upset about receiving bills for ambulance services. But ambulance district residents are being advised not to pay them.

The Flanders, Riverside and Northampton Community Association has been awarded a $100,000 Environmental Justice Community Impact Grant by the Department of Environmental Conservation for an investigation by citizen scientists into the health of the local ecosystem.

Vince Taldone, longtime FRNCA board member, has stepped down from the group's board of directors. He is moving to Manhattan, which offers a walkable community with ample public transit — important to Taldone, who is visually impaired and no longer able to drive.

The much anticipated opening of a permanent satellite location in Riverside of the Children’s Museum of the East End has been stalled — perhaps indefinitely.
